Hi Michael,

we currently do not extract Gene Ontology data from Wikipedia.

We extract data for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_protein
which doesn't use Gene Ontology. The template
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:GNF_Protein_box
(and maybe others?) uses Gene Ontology, but we don't
have a mapping from that template to our ontology (yet).

Besides, most (if not all) of the IDs we already extract (ISBN, Protein Data
Bank ID, etc.) are defined as strings, not as numbers, because with
most of these, ranges and other numeric operations don't make sense.
Would it actually make sense to search for genes annotated with a
GO category "between" GO:0005488 and GO:0008047?

Not sure what you mean by "descending from" and "2 hops from
GO:0005488", but I guess the DBpedia extraction and/or the
browser would have to use some kind of inference to enable such
searches. There are other domains in which such inference would
be useful (e.g., the browser doesn't know that someone who was
born in Berlin was also born in Europe), so maybe one day we will
implement it, but it's currently not high on our to-do list.

Bye,
Christopher
